Usage

Food

To eat an enchanted golden apple, press and hold use while it is selected in the hotbar. It restores 4 () points of hunger and 9.6 saturation.

The enchanted golden apple provides:

Absorption IV for 2 minutes (providing HP × 8)
Regeneration level II for 20 seconds in Java Edition (long enough to heal HP × 8) or 30 seconds in Bedrock Edition (long enough to heal HP × 12)
Fire Resistance I for 5 minutes
Resistance I (20% reduced damage from all sources except the void and starvation) for 5 minutes

Horses

Enchanted golden apples can be used for improving the chances of taming a horse by 10%, for breeding and leading horses, and for speeding up the growth of baby horses by 4 minutes. In Java Edition, due to a bug, skeleton horses (in their hostile state; being ridden by skeletons) can also be fed enchanted golden apples.^[1]

Java Edition
1.3.1	12w21a	Added a second tier of the golden apple that provides greater benefits, similar to the golden apple before 1.1.
		It grants Resistance (5 minutes) and Fire Resistance (5 minutes) in addition to Regeneration IV (30 seconds). However, it only restores 4 () hunger points.
		It can be crafted with 8 blocks of gold and one apple. Since apples are also renewable, enchanted golden apples are renewable, as opposed to pre-1.1 golden apples.
		It shines like an enchanted item and features a magenta tooltip, meaning that it is "Epic" rarity, but it is simply named "Golden Apple". In response, the standard golden apple lost its glint, and its tooltip was changed to a cyan tooltip, meaning that it is "Rare".
